Now, in fairness, Condi is the only respectable woman named. However, that doesn't excuse the blatantly misogynistic things that have been said about conservative women. I don't like Robert Mugabe, but you don't hear me using the "N-Word" to describe him.
It's possible that one or two liberals may have said something in passing that could be interpreted as unreasonable once or twice. Do they routinely call conservative women traitors without justification? Or whores? Sluts? Is that a political strategy? It is for the right.
This is a stupid cartoon. There's a difference between the usual rough-and-tumble of politics and a dedicated slanderous campaign of sexist lies.
Somalia is like surface Rapture.
Without the plasmids.
To be fair, Somaliland is stable, Somalia fell into civil war after the collapse of a socialist government, and Objectivists aren't against all government and advocate basic law and order services. Of course, who's going to be a police detective when everyone in society is either a genius businessman and inventor allowed to roam free or a rightfully stomped-upon mediocrity isn't clear and never seems to be explained. It's almost like Atlas Shrugged is a wild oversimplification and you'd be a fucking moron to think it's an accurate depiction of society or real life.
It'd be a bit silly to suggest that Somalia's situation can be explained by its prior developmental state. It'd also be just untrue to suggest that Somaliland has been made safe under any kind of system Randroids would be happy with.
Atlas Shrugged is a wild oversimplification the same way that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is - it isn't. It's a lunatic and inaccurate attempt to shift blame for all ill on the victims of that ill and to give all credit for success on the people who tried to stop it.
